Loved writing this #HLINblog for @HousingLIN! More important than ever for designers to engage with residents of #extracarehousing to shape our future #specialistliving designs and design policy, advocate for POE and a cheer for @StrideTreglown #inhabitant series

[Jeremy Porteus (@jeremyhlin.bsky.social) @Jeremy_HLIN]

Thanks @francesca_j @StrideTreglown for your 1st @HousingLINews #HLINblog & your view on POE and importance of engaging & listening to residents of #extracarehousing to evaluate & learm how the design worked https://t.co/K1CIaEewo9 https://t.co/OhVxbGjiFT

People dying in emergency care because 10% of hospital beds are occupied by people who can't be discharged for lack of social care. How much worse is it going to get?

@ladbible @DaleLewis123 you cannot reason with a tiger… 🐯

[ARCOtweets @ARCOtweets]

Over 1/3 of older people would consider moving and nearly 1/4 need to downsize, but there are not enough quality housing options to enable this.

We urgently need a cross-govt. task force on housing and care for older people to change this.

Creating a new use class for Integrated Retirement Communities in the planning system would improve understanding of the sector among local authorities, and increase provision in local plans, as @ashcrofts argues 👇

[Francesca Lewis @francesca_j]

We know the care sector faces many challenges let alone the aftermath of covid - all this points to how critical design of integrated retirement communities is for a better future of care. After all good design for care is good design for all 👏🏼@retiremove @arcotweets #carecrisis

[ARCOtweets @ARCOtweets]

Last week we published a new report showing that Integrated Retirement Communities are key to saving the social care system & tackling the care worker crisis, as @Retiremove cover here 👇
